In an April video posted by TikTok user @erica_grace1, a frenzy has ensued at a Trader Joe’s store. A group of customers, mainly grown adults, is seen crowding around a cardboard box filled with the brand’s newly-released pastel mini tote bags. One could call it greed, based on how people are wrestling one another to grab not one, not two, but multiple bags in various colors. It’s like watching hands frantically reach out for candy after a piñata has been broken into — gluttony at its finest.
“I did not think I was going to fight grown women at 8:00 AM,” read a caption on the TikTok video.
